Blue post on lava burst and lightning damage

"(Remember they benefit from Curse of the Elements and similar spells now.)"

So, our damage is being limited based on having a warlock in the party? I'm confused. I thought that the point of a lot of these cross buff stacking nerfs was to encourage people to not HAVE to have a particular class in group/raid to be effective. This seems somewhat counterintuitive to me.

I second that. Blizzard's Devs constantly point out the new benefit from CoE for shamans. It appears to me that they are so busy fine-tuning WotLK raid encounters that they have forgotten about the questing and solo play.

Plus, the shamans don't get lava burst until 75, which leaves us de facto nerfed till up to that point.
